This summer, I will be spending several months at Redmond working in the .NET Common Language Runtime team. I had my fly-over interview last week, and I agreed to their offer today. I haven’t reached the point that G has yet ([see thread](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=213816)), but after I graduate next year, who knows 😛 :cowboy: ---

kool! i haven’t worked with .NET Common Lang. Runtime, so this may sound like a stupid question… what will you exactly be doing? like creating programs like .NET? or working in .NET to create programs? Congratulations. 🙂 ---

Wow, NiCE!? ■■■■ Kirupa you’ve got the skills and opportunity. I’ve got a question for ya though. You are in Computer & Electrical Engineering, not computer science. Isn’t programming technically not in your area of academic expertise (not that you don’t know it well)? I’m thinking of joining an intern program, but in the computer engineering program as is, it seems unlikely that I’ll get a job doing hardware stuff. So companies will hire engineers for software dev? ---

I’m actually in both Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. For me, while I am doing EECS, I have taken a LOT of EE classes, but a LOT MORE CS classes. For the most part, I’m decent with doing stuff in hardware, but I’m more comfortable and interested in doing software stuff. It’s a lot easier to debug code in an IDE as opposed to figuring out why a circuit doesn’t work haha. :nat: ---

Actually wizard, all interns get to have dinner at Bill Gates house in the summer. I saw him speak once, but I’m definitely excited about getting to see him again in a smaller setting. footsie - 12 weeks. I have 3 more weeks of vacation before school starts, so it’s a good balance between both fun work and just fun. :bu: ---

28 - of course, I think it’s my destiny to meet you 😛 kdd - it involves .net and the web, but beyond that, I will find out only when I get there. I have a brief idea of what it is, but I’m not sure I can publically disclose it. bwh - I attended a Ballmer speech a few months ago, and he is definitely an interesting speaker. I’ve never seen such a high octane individual! mik3 - anybody can do it; it just takes time, hard-work, and patience 😉 ---
